why do my re writable dvds only hav half the capacity they should have?

Question

i use maxwell dvd+rw 120min 4.7GB but lately when i try to burn a movie it says there is insufficiant disk space? there is only 60mins on it. i use cyberlink to burn with and its always been fine. all the disksare completly blank. i just dont get it....

Answer 1

Have you reformatted the disks or just deleted the old files. Deleting files does not free up the space used by the previous burn. Try reformatting as this clears the disk ready for burning

Answer 2

It's because of the speed you are set to burn at.
